What Happened When I Ignored My Own Advice

I have advice that I tell my clients:

Record a few test episodes so you can see how long it will take to create an episode - then pick your schedule.

Get some feedback from someone you are not related to, or didn't grow up with. You need constructive feedback.

While I recorded a few test shows, I didn't spend much time on this (two episodes) and I didn't get any feedback.

When I saw my supply chain of content was not as fruitful as I thought, I ignored it and went with my heart.

In the end, the podcast took more time than planned (they always do) but I am already doing multiple podcasts and understand the value of my time. Consequently, I told the audience of that show where to find me, and I am taking some extra time to learn from my own mistakes.

You're never going to be perfect. All you can do is fail fast, and learn from your mistakes and move on.
